shower

Is there a quick and simple fix for a Shower door (curved) that keeps coming out of its runners? I have attached a photo, but most days, this keeps popping out at the bottom, and it needs to slide back in to its runner, which can be tricky? If there are any tips, to keep these 'on track' then...

Hi, I fitted a new shower back in July, went for the exact same kW and everything has been great until this week when I stopped getting 240V at the shower. All I can find is the breaker but there doesn't seem to be an isolation switch anywhere or a fuse, I don't have any power at the shower...

I moved into a new build around 18 months ago, and I consider myself a competent DIYer. Before I ask the builder to come and look at my plumbing I wanted to get some opinion on an odd issue we've been having. Our showers don't get hot (we've got two of them). It was most noticeable (probably...

First time DIY bathroom project, so apologies in advance for any stupid questions! The space for the shower is 120cm wide at the floor, but one of the walls isn’t straight and the width at the ceiling is 15mm smaller. I’m down to the drywall and I’m installing the tray, shower wall panels and...

Evening. After testing every plug socket in the house and finding them all to be ok, I left the socket tester plugged in to a socket with the switch switched off. I didn't leave it plugged in intentionally, I'm just lazy. Days later, I'm in the kitchen and all of a sudden the socket tester...

Hi all Some advice if possible. I fitted a new shower yesterday (Mira ERD Realm) thermostatic type at a clients house. Very pleased with the flow rate BUT it could be hotter. After flushing and commissioning I left the shower to run on full power ( lever turned up completely anti clockwise. I...

Hello all, I'm at my wits end... I have fairly recently taken the plunge and re fitted my entire bathroom. I should probably add at this point that I am not a plumber and before I undertook this mammoth task I had no plumbing experience whatsoever. I hope that this has not now let me down at...

Hi! I live in rented accommodation and have an issue with my bath not draining quickly enough. I’ve taken off the trap and checked for blockages and there isn’t anything there. Also pushed a drain cleaner down the waste pipe and nothing obvious in the way. I did notice that the although the...

I have a leak from shower, the leak comes out on the ceiling though, so it's damaged the plasterboard ceiling. I presume there is a pipe running from the showeraomg this ceiling and so the leak could be anywhere from shower onwards. I've confirmed the tray is ok, and resealed again, looked...

Hello, I have a question regarding the safety of my shower. The other day, the power to the shower went off as I was just finishing using it. Then the trip switch for it at the box refused to stay in the on position. I informed my landlord and he said he would take a look, I hoped he would get...

I want to replace my loose shower bracket, but I don't know how to take it off the rail. Can someone please teach me how to remove the shower brackets?

Hey Guys! First post so please go gentle. I have recently moved into a property needing some medium/heavy cosmetic work and I am a very keen DIY'er, will get my hands dirty on any job. I just need a little guidance. I want to add a shower to the ground floor WC. I am fairly comfortable with...

So I have the above boiler and it works fine. I’ve always had to run the bathroom tap on hot to get the shower to go hot. I’ve replaced the diaphragm in the water valve - the top was very rusty so I also replaced the stuffing box. On putting it back together I could see the little rod was...

Hi. We currently have a mains fed water tank in the loft, a vaillant thermocompact system boiler in the downstairs utility room, and a copper immersion tank on the upstairs airing cupboard. The boiler heats the hot water and stores in the copper boiler until required. The boiler also heats the...

I got a call from home to say they couldn't turn off the shower.... Its a Grohe Rapido with the shower/bath diverter kit (Allure etc). Is this likely to be the cartridge needing replacing ? It doesn't look too tricky to do from the instructions, but I don't want to waste (quite a lot of) money...

Hello and thank you for reading this message. Our hot water cylinder has no manufacturer name on it so I cannot find a manual. The system is fed directly from the mains with new gas condenser boiler, cylinder, and container above the cylinder looking like a pressure cylinder. The system feeds 2...

I see this issue is not a new one, but I have a variable that I wanted to check with you guys before I do anything. I've just moved into a house share, and the room has an en suite shower that has apparently never worked. There is a very slow trickle with the mixer turned to hot, and sometimes...
